A police officer in plainclothes is eating lunch in a restaurant on his day off. He is not noticed by two patrol officers sitting at the counter having coffee. The uniformed patrol officers get up and leave without paying or even leaving a tip.

According to the core beliefs of the police culture, what is the most logical reason that he did this?

B. Members of the public are unreasonably demanding.
C. Loyalty above everything.
